240+ Epic Apex Legends Names - Master Guide

Hey there fellow Apex enthusiast! Choosing the perfect name for your character is an important part of the Apex Legends experience. Your name sets the tone for the legend you want to become in the arena.

As a top 500 Predator player with over 2000 hours logged, I‘ve put together this comprehensive guide on over 240 amazing Apex Legends name ideas. I‘ll also cover everything you need to know about choosing and changing your name in Apex Legends.

Let‘s do this!

Are Apex Legends Names Unique?

Before we jump into the names, first thing‘s first – answering one of the most common questions about Apex Legends usernames:

Are Apex Legends names unique?

The short answer is no, Apex Legends names are not unique across the playerbase. This means someone else could potentially have the same name as you.

While some games require unique names, Apex Legends takes a different approach. The advantage is that you have way more flexibility when choosing your name. You don‘t have to come up with some ultra rare name no one else could possibly use.

However, the downside is you may occasionally encounter another player with the exact same name during matches. When this happens, Apex appends a #12345 number after your name to distinguish you in chat. But don‘t worry, it doesn‘t actually impact your gameplay.

So while names aren‘t unique, you still want to pick something cool and memorable. Keep reading for 240+ name ideas that will help you stand out as much as possible!

How to Change Your Apex Legends Name

Before rocking your slick new name, you need to know how to actually change your current Apex Legends name. The method varies slightly depending on whether you play on console or PC.

Changing Your Name on Console

For PlayStation and Xbox, your Apex Legends name will match your overall console username. This is set when you first create your console account.

To change your name for Apex on console, you‘ll need to change your PSN ID or Xbox Gamertag through the account settings. Keep in mind this will update your name across all games, not just Apex Legends.

Here are direct links to guides for changing your name on each platform:

It‘s a straightforward process, just make sure you‘re ready to commit to a new name across all your games!

Changing Your Name on PC

For PC players, the method for changing your name depends whether you play Apex Legends through Origin or Steam.

Change Name on Apex via Origin

If you play on PC and login to Apex using an EA Origin account, your Apex Legends name will match your Origin username.

To change your Origin username and Apex name:

Open the Origin desktop app
Click your profile picture (top right)
Select "Settings"
Click "Basic Info" on the left sidebar
Edit the "Nickname" field and save changes

This will change your name for Apex Legends and any other EA games tied to your Origin account.

Change Name on Apex via Steam

For PC players who access Apex Legends through Steam, your Steam display name will be your in-game name.

You can change this by:

Going to your Steam Profile
Clicking "Edit Profile"
Changing the "Name" field and saving changes

This updates your name across all Steam games, including Apex Legends.

One thing to note – to play Apex on Steam you still need to link an EA/Origin account in the background. While your Steam name displays in Apex matches, your EA name shows on certain menus and profiles.

To keep your names consistent, link your Steam account to an EA account with a matching name. Or change your EA/Origin name to match your new Steam name.

Qualities of a Great Apex Legends Name

Now that you know how to change your name in Apex Legends, let‘s talk about what makes a good name.

Based on my experience, here are some key qualities your name should have:

Short and memorable – In the heat of battle, a short distinctive name like "Ace" is easier for teammates to quickly call out compared to something like "xXDarkSlayerXx".
Cool factor – You want a name that sounds intimidating and reflects your elite skills. Names with qualities like stealth, speed and accuracy are great options.
Appropriate – Don‘t use profanity or offensive terms. Apex Legends promotes a positive community.
No numbers – Numbers like "Sn1p3r" or "Hunt3r" just look tacky in a name.
No special characters – Weird symbols make names hard to read. Avoid things like !, @, #, $, etc.

Follow these tips and you‘ll have a name that demands respect when you drop into King‘s Canyon!

Next up, let‘s look at some actual name examples you can use.
